Twilight Sparkle keeps writing letters to Celestia, but she never sends them. When Rainbow Dash swipes one of them, Twilight is desperate to get it back. Will she succeed, or will Celestia read one of her letters at last?

Princess Celestia receives a letter from her student, Twilight Sparke, who is slowly dying from horn cancer. Twilight Spakle also sends along a final gift to Princess Luna. But something is different about the flower that grows from the gift.........

Twilight Sparkle has lived a full life but now she's a 115-year-old pony lying on her deathbed and waiting to pass on. As her time draws near, she receives a visit from a mysterious mare who has come to seek out the answer to a simple curiosity.

Beautiful, it really is. The narration is easily attributed to Twilight, and writing one last letter to the Princess is very much something that seems in character.

I also love that so many stories focus on their favorite pony finding a way to avoid death, or follow out beautifully only for the author to go back and say 'But it's OK because...' Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those stories too, as long as they're written well, but seeing one like this where it's short, simple, and sweet is heartwarming.

I personally think Celestia would be proud to the point of tears of her little pony, and while this is far too sad and mature a concept to ever be an episode, this is really a wonderful ending note, and this will forever be, I think, what I see Twilight doing, and writing, last.

I do want to say that the story is something I've never seen before, but info tells me it is unoriginal. Either way, the way this was written is very "in-character". I do not really admire it a ton, i will give it no vote. I will not give it a bad rating because it really wasn't that bad, but at the same time it wasn't all that great either. BRAVO on your work though, i know that the writer does have talent. I hope to see a sadder story sometime, one to at least make me shed one tear.

1591653 Thank you for your criticism; sometimes I actually doubt I'm really that great when I get completely positive comments Alas, I do have another sadfic idea, hopefully a more original one. If not original, then I'll try to make it worth it
